wvdial for user
Okay, I use a program called wvdial to connect to dial-up, but I can only run it by using su for root. I tried setting some permissions for the device, but it still says device can't be opened or is busy when I'm user. Is there some permissions for a device (my modem is /dev/ttyS4) or some work-around so I can dial as user? Thanks.

The solution is to give user permission to use /dev/ttyS4 and /etc/wvdial.conf
The way that I suggest is: Log in as root. chmod 775 /dev/ttyS4 chmod 660 /etc/wvdial.conf Either create a group called dialout which includes user or add user to dialout group if it already exists. chown root dialout /dev/ttyS4 chown root dialout /etc/wvdial.conf If you are using /dev/modem as a pointer to /dev/ttyS4 then: chmod 770 /dev/modem chown root dialout /dev/modem |
